READY TO MOVE ON

SINCE I'VE BEEN BACK FROM THE PHILS I WAS SO DEPRESSED. I GRIEVED FOR MY DADS DEATH FOR A LONG TIME AND I STILL MISSED HIM TERRIBLY. I CAN'T TALK MUCH WITHOUT A TEAR IN MY EYES.
ANYWAY I HAVEN'T TOUCH ANY OF MY SCRAPBOOK SUPPLIES FOR MONTHS NOR VISIT A LSS.EVERYTHING WAS BOTHERING ME AND INCLUDING MY HIGH PROFILE JOB. SO LAST MONTH I FINALLY QUIT THIS JOB WHICH I HELD FOR 4 YEARS.
AFTER QUITTING, I FELT LIKE A NEW PERSON AGAIN AND EVEN MY FAMILY NOTICED A BIG CHANGE. AND FINALLY LAST WEEK I WENT TO A LSS TO PURCHASE SOME REFILLS TAPES AND WAS SO HAPPY TO BE BACK TO SCRAPBOOKING AGAIN.

Hubbys major surgery

This is the reason why I wasn't able to scrapbook for a awhile. My husband underwent Bilateral total knee replacement last 3-26-08. Getting ready for this surgery takes a lot of emotional toll on both of us. Recovery is slow but finally he is able to get his knees straight and walk without limping. He still gets pain everyday but its a different kind of pain according to him. He underwent 3xweek of physical therapy at where he works and comes home tired and hurting. I did all the driving for the past 4 weeks after his surgery and that was exhausting too. Thank God is doing so much better now and scheduled to go back to work next week.

Here's some of the last prima flowers I will be selling for the fundraiser. They're so cute and very delicate. I love to just look at this flowers. My pages can't have flowers always since my boys makes fun of being girly girl and they are real boys(they think sometimes). Although I think they laugh and fight like girls.I will probably replace this space for my chipboards and glitters (I love them....the more blings and glitter the bettter) That's probably why I love anything that shines including diamonds....

I went to a LSS this past weekend and bought this fixture for $50 and it rotates. Able to get the hooks so I can now organize all my supplies and not to continue to hoard for chipboards,stickers,bling,rub-ons,flowers,stamps. I just love this new fixture in my scrapbook room. My family was so surprise that the clutter is gone and finally could see the floor,the top of the drawers,the side table,the cabinets. Everything now has its own place and hopefully it will stay that way until I come back from my trip. Although I might have to move them closer to the other side of the room since my mother in law will be coming next month.

Didn't realize how much PP I have. Each bin takes 50 papers and oh my they are filled. Seems like this part of the fixture is leaning forward and my husband said this is due to the weight of the papers and maybe I have to remove some of it. Oh no...I don't know where to put the rest if I separate them again. I'll leave it like this unless it collapses...so far,knock on my head...it didn't happen yet. The papers are now protected better and is very accessible for me and I think this is it...I don't have to shop for supplies in the US and try Divisoria this time for trims,buttons,ribbons.......Is this an addiction now ,I wonder?...Might have to seek professional help ,but so far my DH doesn't think so...He said its memories in progress....and will continue....so I guess,its okay to keep on shopping at the candy store or perhaps the LSS.

This is supposedly my entry for the 3 wishes kaya challenge. I have so much trouble sending it electronically. My BH couldn't solve the technical aspect of it either...so here it is

I had been scrapbooking since 2003 but unable to post any LO's since I am not good with computers. I could not understand any computer technicalities and relies on my family to do that. Laugh at this but I don't even know how to text using my cellphone. I have to bribe my 10 year old sometimes to help me with microsoft word (printing labels or updating my resume). My children and BH gets cranky with my questions. And that is so frustrating on my part. I have to check emails daily from corporate but thats about it. My secretary has to help me all the time (bless her patient heart).
So this is the recent LO I did of the boys. They are so excited to finally get their brown belt 2 months ago. Materials adhesive xyron,creative memories;PP (fancy pants,creative memories,bazzill,corrugated paper)ribbons(michaels)chipboard(heidi swapp)misc metal stars,brads

This is a picture taken Christmas 07. Not able to get a clear picture since I'm not sure how to use my camera. I guess I need to read the manual...hehehe...
